You may remember me posting that I sent two pipes to Cajunguy for restoration. Well, He finished them today, and will be shipping them out tomorrow. They look great, and the turn around time was great as well. He got them yesterday, and finished them today. I should have them by either monday or tuesday.
Here is before:
You can't tell from the picture, but the inside of the bowl was really dirty.

This one wasn't in too bad of shape

Cajunguy did an amazing job -- better than new! Congratulations!

He is a restoration wizard. If you ever need a pipe restored, send him a message. Check out this one he did for me. It's a The Guildhall London Pipe(Comoys second). He had to shorten the stem and rework the button. I got it in a lot of pipes. I sold the others, but saw the grain on this one and knew it had potential.

It has been a while since I posted but I just wanted to say those cleaned up very nicely.

The Guildhal is a wonderful smoker, I haven't gotten the other two yet. The pipe in the first picture is a Kaywoodie Prime Grain. It has a cracked bowl, but it looks really nice, so I'll smoke it till it breaks, and then make a tamper out of it. The second pipe is Marked Pipe By Lee Limited Edition. I don't know anything about it. It was given to me with some baccy.

Glad you like the way they turned out Ben, and thanks everyone! :D
They'll be in the mail tomorrow and hopefully to you by Tuesday.

You always do great work! I don't know when I have another pipe that could use a little work, I don't know why I didn't send it to you. It's nowhere close to the other pipes I've sent you. I'll send it out to you sometime in th near future.

Those came out looking great. Nice work Cajun.
That second one has a sneaky look about it like it's a great smoker.
Photo good to see you again.
